screencasters.heathenx.org introduces Microsodes

screencasters.heathenx.org introduces Microsodes (micro episodes):

Maybe you're already familiar with Screencasters.heathenx.org which goal is to provide a means, through a simple website, of allowing new users in the Inkscape community to watch some basic and intermediate tutorials.

I watched a couple of their videos and learned a lot.

And was very happy today because they just introduced a brand new section with "the quick and dirty mini episodes (aka: microsodes)" illustrating just the fundamentals of Inkscape or things we consider too short for an entire episode.

kudos !

Crash course on the financial crisis

Found this little gem in the flickr gimp and inkscape group

This is a one page "comic" where Jesse Jane is explaining basic economic background of the current financial crisis.

Here's the link to the full size page : financial crisis 101

There's already another page posted with Jenna Jameson talking about Buddhism.

I like the attempt, firstly because it shows a different aspect of these "pron stars", secondly because funnily enough even if the topic is boring you want to read it and thirdly because it uses open source software.

Hopefully the author will keep posting more ...
